Republicans Should Encourage Democrats to Cheat in Elections

Our immigration policy is destroying America. We are bringing in millions of people who don't speak English and have little to no interest in adopting to American culture. This will permanently change what America is, into something less like Nebraska and more like Central America. Why are we doing this? Because Democrats anticipate that an enormous permanent underclass of people who feel oppressed and who want government support is more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. And they're probably right.

The problem with this campaign strategy is that in Democrats' quest for power, they are going to destroy the culture and the country in which we all live. In my view, the leader of the Republican party, say Speaker Johnson or Tom Cotton or somebody like that, should give a speech something like this:

"My fellow Americans: America was founded on the ideas of individual liberty, constrained government, and open commerce. Democrats have argued against these ideas since they were the party of slavery 200 years ago. Their ideas continue to be very unpopular with the American populace. They could attempt to win election by changing their ideas, but instead they have decided to change the American populace by importing a permanent underclass via open borders. This may win votes for Democrats, but it will irreversibly change America into something entirely different. Something that no one in the world wants - people don't emigrate en masse to Honduras - they come to America because it is not Honduras.

In the last election, an extremely unpopular and obviously corrupt dementia patient won 81 million votes without campaigning. He won 15 million votes more than the popular and historic Barack Obama, a brilliant speaker who ran an outstanding campaign. There are some who suggest that such a result seems extremely improbable. There are some who complain that we should be reforming our elections, to ensure their security and integrity in the future.

I am not one of those people.

Democrats will do less damage to our country by breaking our election laws than they will by breaking our immigration laws. So we should encourage them to continue to break our election laws.

Democrats know that they cannot win an honest election, and they are acting accordingly. We should encourage them to use mail in ballots, mules, weeks of recounts in closed rooms once they know how many votes they need, untraceable voting machines, drop boxes in only Democrat neighborhoods, and so on.

Such things are dangerous to a functioning Democracy, of course. But not nearly as dangerous as replacing our population with another one that does not share our values.

I ask Republican voters to join me in supporting Democrats cheating in elections. This may seem difficult to accept, but if you consider the alternatives, I think you'll agree with me that this is the lesser of two evils.

The Republican National Committee will help the Democrat National Committee cheat on their behalf - we'll help however we can without actively breaking laws. As long as only Democrats cheat in elections, we'll look the other way.

On the condition that the border is closed and illegal immigrants who are here are encouraged to leave through employment laws and such.

We beg Democrats - if you allow our country to survive, we'll give you the Presidency. We'll even look the other way when he enriches his family through deals with China, Ukraine, and other foreign powers. Just allow our country to survive. What do you say?

We very much appreciate leading Democrats' consideration of our proposal, and we look forward to hearing from them to discuss this very important matter."


This may sound like a joke, but I don't think it is. It would serve many purposes. It would point out to Americans in general that Democrats are cheating, and we know it. It would emphasize Republicans' love of country, and our willingness to sacrifice to save it. It would generate a lot of discussion all across America on very important topics, from mail in ballots to immigration. Sometimes it's good to stir the pot a bit.

I really don't see a downside.

I even would follow through on this - allow them to cheat if they close the border - a Democrat President is less destructive than replacing the American population with others who don't share our ideals. That is certain to go very, very, very badly. It already is. A President can be removed eventually. Tens of millions if illegal residents cannot.

Faced with certain crisis and possible destruction, perhaps we should consider openly speaking the truth. You never know where it may lead.

Just a thought. I think it has merit. Why not?

What do you think?

    Democrats have more than one way to destroy our country. Yes, they have the method of changing our population through allowing illegal immigration. But they also can destroy our country by ruining our ability to succeed in commerce through their strident demand for non-carbon energy sources that do not exist currently. Plus, they can destroy our country through imprudent foreign policy actions that create an entire world at war. Lastly, they can destroy our country by demanding a woke culture that leaves behind the biological reality of men and women and institutes a population of weak and confused psychologically twisted human beings.

    But, other than that, Doc, I wholeheartedly agree with your post!

    Enemies of the US, such as the Chinese Communist Party, are paying Dems to open the southern border. "More Dem voters" is how they sold'm on it.

    That is all true, of course.

    But I'm just trying to point out to the American public that Democrats are the anti-American party, and Republicans are the pro-American party. Trying to get Democrats to publicly defend their actions. Trying to give Republicans some winning issues.

    I doubt that Democrats would agree to the deal, because they'd be hesitant to openly acknowledge the cheating which they are so openly commiting.

    I'm just trying to get some important topics out in the open.

    I think they should stop both things.

    And I think their corrupting of education is what causes the most trouble.

    I hope the resulting debate may lead to that response.
